Move over “Drop It Like It’s Hot”—Snoop Dogg is proving he can also “sled it like it’s cool.”

The hip-hop legend has been fully embracing his role as honorary coach for Team USA at the Winter Olympics in Italy, and he’s not holding back on the fun.

From flying down icy slopes to trying curling for the first time, Snoop is bringing his signature energy to the Games.

Coach Snoop Takes Milan by Storm

Since arriving in Milan on Tuesday, Snoop has been leaving his mark everywhere.

He tested the Alpine terrain on a small sled, rode a Zamboni, and even carried the Olympic flame through Gallarate on Wednesday.

With the official title of “Coach Snoop,” he’s been supporting Team USA both on and off the ice.

On Friday, he cheered courtside during Team USA’s mixed doubles curling match against Canada, showing that his Olympic involvement is as hands-on as it is entertaining.

Sledding Shenanigans Go Viral

Fans got a good laugh when Snoop shared footage of his sledding adventure.

Taking a blue sled down the slope, he went feet-first before spinning around mid-descent and clinging on for dear life.

The ride ended with him flat on his back, looking skyward, perfectly capturing the fun and chaos of the moment.

“What y’all think?? How’d I do?” he asked on X, adding a laughing emoji that perfectly summed up his Olympic experience.

Curling, Jerseys, and Team Spirit

Not one to stop at sledding, Snoop tried his hand at curling later that day.

At the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium, he threw stones on the ice alongside Team USA stars Daniel Casper and Tabitha Peterson Lovick.

The team celebrated their 3-0 win over Canada by gifting him a personalized “Coach Snoop” jersey, cementing his honorary place in the Olympic family.

A Lucrative Winter Games for Snoop

While Snoop’s involvement is largely celebratory, it’s also likely very profitable.

Reports from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris revealed that he earned £393,000 ($500,000) per day as an NBC commentator, with potential total earnings reaching £11.78 million ($15 million) for the Games, plus TV ratings bonuses.

With his dual role as an NBC broadcaster and Team USA coach in Milan, his Winter Olympics paycheck could be even higher.

Spreading Positivity Beyond Team USA

Snoop’s impact hasn’t been limited to the Americans.

British curler Bruce Mouat shared his excitement after snapping a selfie with the rapper following Team GB’s mixed doubles match in Cortina.

Sporting a USA jacket adorned with photos of Team USA curlers, Snoop showed that he’s winning hearts on and off the ice.

What’s Next?

“Coach Snoop” isn’t slowing down yet.

Fans can expect more sledding, curling, and perhaps a few surprise appearances as he continues to cheer on Team USA and add his unique flair to the Winter Olympics.

With social media clips already going viral, it’s safe to say Snoop’s Olympic journey will keep drawing attention through the Games.

Summary

Snoop Dogg is proving that Olympic glory isn’t just for athletes.

As Team USA’s honorary coach, he’s taken on everything from sledding mishaps to curling triumphs, all while likely boosting his already staggering earnings.

Beyond the financial side, Snoop is bringing laughter, energy, and a touch of celebrity sparkle to the Winter Olympics, winning over fans from Milan to Cortina and even across the Atlantic.
